Revell C7R - 2019 #4 IMSA Sahlens Six Hours of The Glen


Recommended Posts

My take on the Revell C7R kit. What a frustrating kit at times!! Didn't do a great job of taking WIP pics, chassis built more or less as it comes from the kit, with some fairly major sanding and trimming to get the body to sit down properly. 

Getting started. Using the Classic Racing Resins upgrade kit:

Fit was pretty good, used CA Accelerator to get the glue to hold.

Primer and sanding:

Cut the plastic apart using a Dremel with a thin cutting disc. Not sure there's a way to get this body to sit properly with the factory plastic windows.

More filler and sanding:

Final assembly beginning:

Used fuel filter screen to add more detail to the mesh grille opening:

Used a 3D pen to and staples to make the front pitot tubes:

Thanks for looking!
